Lyrics More Than We Know - Aoife O'Donovan, The Milk Carton Kids

More Than We Know

Who knew this day would find me?
Consuming the past behind me
Insisting my heart will define me no matter that I show
The work of my hands and the hours
Spent growing the sand into towers
Calling your sea to devour more than you know
Gone are the days that I carried
A grief that alone I had married
To everything held and then buried deep in my soul
For now you speak far beyond reason
A bridge with a foot in each season
Extending a hope I believe in more than you know
What kept me here and standing free?
What part of you saw this in me
Oh, how long until I see?
This light goes on forever
Carrying time in it’s treasure
By blood and above us like weather further than we’ll go
For all of the breath that leaves us
The ghosts we invite to deceive us
I hold to the grace that believes for us more than we know
More than we know
